Nearly Done...

Finally got nearly everything done.  The presents are purchased, wrapped, and sitting under the tree.  The laundry is nearly done.  I baked 2 kinds of cookies today AND got rid of almost all of them, so that I won't find myself in a sugar coma due to my inability to stop eating them. I still have one final to do, and a big stack of xmas cards to mail...and I haven't even tried to get into the closets or the toy box yet.  I have a couple long weekends coming up, though.  :)  I really look forward to the long weekends... and dread everything after the second week of January.  It's all normal then.  No nice long vacations to look forward to, no holidays... I'm sure I'll be taking some time off around Oliver's birthday, but still.  There's nothing but average for quite a while.

This last week was annoying.  I felt no love for the patrons... I spent most of the week working on a computer problem that almost drove me over the edge.  The relief from finally solving the problem was short-lived, because once accomplished, I felt so accomplished that I was done.

Next semester I have a writing class... and I really can't wait.  I'm so creatively stifled.

We're watching the new Peanuts movie, Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown.  Linus sounds ok, but the other voices are a bit off.  I hoped it wouldn't bother me, but...it does.  It's like...a remake...but not.

Like...can you imagine if A Christmas Story was redone??  Wouldn't that be terrible??!

In Oliver news...the embarrassing moments keep coming.  Last night, while walking through the store, he got a tampon out of my purse.  He was waving it around at people...like it was a little light-saber...with sound effects included.  Noticing that was bad enough.  Turning around to see my ex standing there...well, that was embarrassing and hilarious.

Ok... I think I've gained strength through pizza...so I'm going to tackle at least one bin of toys tonight.  Or maybe just get some laundry put away.
